"Tristan, calm down. Liam already helped us so many tis. Let's hear him out first." Zhen-Zhen also stood up, tugging Tristan's sleeve.
She was telling him to release Liam as he was holding him by his collar. Tristan obediently listened to Zhen-Zhen but he was still looking dagger in Liam's direction.
Tristan was aware of what the guardian warriors did to Zhen-Zhen and her family. This was one of the reasons he suddenly beca furious at Liam after knowing he was a mber of guardian warriors.
"Did you ever try hurting my wife?" Tristan asked Liam again. This ti Zhen-Zhen was already holding his arm to calm him down.
Tristan asked this question as he recalled the mont when Liam took his wife. He wondered if Liam tried to hurt Zhen-Zhen at that ti.
Now, they understood the reason why Liam also had this superpower. He was a guardian warrior!
anwhile, Liam couldn't look at them as he knew he was guilty. Yes. At first, he tried to harm Zhen-Zhen. He planned to kill her but he couldn't do it in the end.
In a low voice, he responded, "Yes. I did…"
Tristan imdiately swung his fist, punching Liam on his face. Liam didn't fight back. He just stood there, letting Tristan hit him.
Zhen-Zhen had to stop him again as Liam's lips were already bleeding.
"Tristan…"
"Zhen-Zhen, don't defend this guy! He tried to hurt you!"
Zhen-Zhen looked at Tristan helplessly. At his current state, there's no way he would calm down. He wanted to beat Liam.
She just hugged him from behind, stopping him from throwing another punch at Liam.
"Let's hear his explanation, Tristan. See… I am here with you. Liam didn't hurt ."
"But he almost did it! He took you. He brought you to a mountain! I was going crazy looking for you when you got missing. I thought I lost you."
Zhen-Zhen hugged him tightly, trying to comfort him. She could understand where Tristan was coming from.
"I'm sorry, Tristan… Lillie. I thought it was my duty to kill the demon god's daughter. But I realize that you are a good person and I can't kill you…"
'...because I am already in love with you,' Liam added to his thoughts but he didn't dare say it out loud.
"That day when you were transported to another dinsion, which is this world… I followed you. My goal is to search for you and kill you." Liam started telling his story to Zhen-Zhen and Tristan.
"Our ancestors made us believe that you are a threat to humanity. But believe , the first ti we t, I had no idea that you were the demon god's daughter. I just found it out later when you, Sophia, Matthew, and Tristan were kidnapped by a certain gang."
Liam told them everything including his feelings after he discovered that Zhen-Zhen was the demon god's daughter.
"Upon knowing you, I realized that I don't need to kill you."
"I want to protect you, Lillie. I want to get closer to you so that one day you will not hate because I know what my ancestors did to you and your family. But I had sworn that I will not commit the sa mistake of hurting innocent people." Liam sounded very sincere that Zhen-Zhen and Tristan could feel it.
Tristan finally cald down a little bit. He was now listening to Liam attentively. He couldn't deny the fact that Liam helped them when Zhen-Zhen was in danger because of the crystaline potion. He witnessed how Liam showed his concern for his wife.
"I wanted to beco friends with you. I don't have any ill-motive. I am sincere about this. I will never want to get you hurt."
"Then, why did your comrades try to kill her father? They even kidnapped Titania and Ella?" Tristan asked Liam.
"I didn't know that they were already here. I only knew Mheera followed here. She mobilized them. I didn't know that she was plotting against you and your father."
"Now, I ca here to apologize on their behalf, as well as to warn you. I will send them back to our world. But Mheera is the stubborn one. She didn't listen to . Tristan, Lillie… just be careful at all tis. We don't know what Mheera is plotting. But I will do my best to protect you from her." Liam reassured them.
Zhen-Zhen didn't know what to say. She couldn't understand why Mheera refused to see the truth. She was not a threat to humanity. She didn't hurt people. But why did Mheera want to kill her so badly?
Little did they know, one of the reasons why Mheera wanted to get rid of Zhen-Zhen was because Liam chose to protect her… because Liam had feelings for her.
Mheera was jealous of her. She wanted her to disappear in this world so that Liam would co with her… so that Liam would be back to his usual self, their guardian lord!
"Thank you, Liam, for being honest with us and giving us this warning," Zhen-Zhen expressed her gratitude toward him.
"Please don't think that I will hate you just because you are a guardian warrior. You never harm and my family. Your ancestors did it to my family, but it's not your fault, Liam."
Liam smiled bitterly. "How I wish, my ancestors thought the sa way as you. They should have not blad you for your father's sin. They should have not sealed you in that mountain. They should have given your family a second chance. I'm really sorry, Lillie…"
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen t each other's gaze. They appreciated Liam's gesture. He was also apologizing on behalf of the guardian warriors.
"We can turn back the past. But we can change our future. I'm so glad to et you and beco my friend. We are not enemies." Zhen-Zhen softly mumbled, glancing at Liam aningfully.
"I understand, Lillie. Thank you so much for giving this chance. I will protect you and your twins."
"Sigh, I should be the one protecting my wife!" Tristan butted in. He hated the fact that he had no power. Now he was eager to gain power through Zu Wan's help.
